First off.

Could you provide links to the sprites for the robot masters? You simply can't expect anyone to magically find the sprite rips by going on Google, what if the game is hard to rip from?

Second, did you ask anybody why the MegaMan Rocks expansion was abandoned in the first place?

First: Sorry, I Will Provide The Links Soon as Possible.
         Second: From my point of View, The Expansion was Abandoned Because the Creator has no more            Motivation to Continue the Project.

Alright uhhh...

The primary reasons most expansions fail is due to a nasty combination of lack of interest or motivation from developers or leaders, or the inability for a leader to motivate progress for any number of reasons.

Rock Force got a full expansion's worth of content in weapons and maps because its leader, Maxine, was rather diligent about kicking people's asses when they promised to have content for her and if the person didn't follow up with them or did not have content to present she either did it herself or got someone else more capable to complete the required content for the expansion.

I wasn't around for Rockman no Constancy's expansion but I assume the situation was similar.


Basically what I'm trying to get at is you need a capable leader and willing people to complete a project such as this. If you can't even present resources or credibility that you can carry your own weight as well as that of those who aren't willing to put in any effort, your expansion will not succeed.

This post was not meant to be dissing you or anyone else, it was supposed to be a realistic [albeit rather pessimistic] view on projects such as these as a whole.
Create some meaningful content. Give us something to chew on, maybe prototype a weapon or something. Get people excited about your content, something to look forward to, then attempt to rally people.

Thank You For the Feedback, Me and my Team are Capable to Revive This Project and Make This a Good Expansion, I Already Provided The Resources, This Expansion Will Became Big as Rock Force as.

Lego is right.

If you want to get an expansion successful, you gotta get some people who will want to help.
Like I said before, if you want to have people start working on things like skins or maps, you have to provide the resources yourself. You have to have a positive attitude towards the contributors if you want them to do anything.

It's nice to have someone you trust and who is experienced to contribute, but it also wouldn't hurt to let some newer people to give in their 2 cents. If their quality doesn't go up to your standards, don't reject them and tell them "you're not good enough for us". Try to explain why their work isn't as good as it could be, and try to work with them until they get it right. You shouldn't exclude anyone who wants to help!

It's like I already said before, no site has the sprites of the game but my idea is more like this: when someone need some sprite or tile

If that is the case, I would gladly rip the sprites for you if you absolutely cannot find any site that hosts it. I might even make a skin too if I have enough time.

Thank You, I did not Find Sites That Hosts MMR Content, But I Get Some Sheets Talking With Erich Ruth (Mega Man Rocs Creator), Here is an Example:

working on repoman's map, the progress is good:
(click to show/hide)

Ok, use "BLACK" for the ceiling, very VERY few maps use ceiling textures and those that due limit their use.
Those all textures need to be stretched out, the black tops and bottoms should align with the ceiling and the floor. A single stairway is not much of a tell, especially since we are seeing it from the side, and not an above angle.

Why not rename "FireMan" as "HydrantMan" because Hydro Man is a common name used for fan made robot masters.
